Primary Ledger , Secondary Ledger, Reporting Currency 


Primary Ledger is a key configuration in any oracle implementation. This setup is required to do any Journal entries / Transactions in Oracle

This is where we will be selection 4c’s

  •      Companies accounting structure (chart of accounts)
  •      Accounting calender
  •          Functional currency
  •          Accounting method


along with other optional features like translation, inter-company journals , reversing criteria etc

Secondary Ledger is a optional feature . Secondary Ledger is not a actual transaction ledger, this is used to capture the Journal entries/ transactions that were entered in Primary ledger

Secondary ledger can have all the 4’c different from your primary Ledger. This makes it easy to maintain balances as required by in country accounting and also in international financial standard

Reporting Currency is an optional feature. This will allow having balances or transactions in a currency that is different from your Functional currency .


This helps companies to maintain balances in different currency . This is similar to MRC feature in Oracle 11i
